I&#8217;ll put this in perspective for you. In the NCAA when he won his national title, he was 265 pounds, which was the limit. In the finals, he had a guy that was 220 pounds and he had to go into double overtime with him. There&#8217;s not very many wrestlers alive, if any, that if they had a forty-five-pound weight advantage couldn&#8217;t put that guy away in about thirty seconds. So he was an effective wrestler, but you know, he had some size and he had a lot of other things to help him get his hand raised. It wasn&#8217;t skill and technique. He kept good position, he was a good competitor and he achieved some really great things. So I don&#8217;t think that a guy as short as Hunt is just gonna get bum-rushed and taken down. You gotta understand, Brock hasn&#8217;t been in the ring in five years, Hunt was the number one contender within the last calendar year. So no, you don&#8217;t have to be exactly an MMA expert to be able to see how this fight goes. Hunt&#8217;s gonna wreck him. But Brock&#8217;s still stepping in there, and he&#8217;s a once-in-a-lifetime attraction. If Brock&#8217;s fighting, you don&#8217;t want to miss it. And this truly will be his last fight. Anytime there&#8217;s speculation &#8220;is this gonna be the guy&#8217;s last fight?&#8221; that helps to draw, that helps make you go &#8220;I don&#8217;t wanna miss it&#8221;. For sure this is Brock&#8217;s last fight. So yeah man, people want to see it. I&#8217;m one of those people.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Do you think Brock Lesnar can upset Mark Hunt at UFC 200 next weekend?
